I picked up Megaman ZX after not touching it since November. I only had one boss left to beat to complete Model PX, so I did that. Nabbed the last two sub-tanks, completed all the bio-metals, then went back and beat every boss with a LV. 4 Victory. Beat the shit out of Pandora in area M without even using a sub-tank (I don't consider that a boss), but decided to check out Area N and found something superbly brilliant: Omega! I actually even managed to beat him on the first try, but died three times trying to make my way back over the spikes. The next time I pulled off beating him, and getting back.

I'm glad I checked a FAQ just in case there were any stupid things I needed to do after beating Omega, because there are. Kind of bummed I don't get to use that bio-metal until after I finish the game though.

But that won't be too far away!

EDIT: Nevermind, finished it. Last boss was cool until he transformed into uber-last boss. Then it was cheap and sucky. Omega was better.

I lied. I picked back up Ninja Gaiden after I got over my irritation at Nintendo for not bothering to put in SOME preventive measure for worst case scenarios, and got halfway through Act 4. Good thing this isn't something like going through most of LttP without actually saving.

Super Paper Mario - I probably shouldn't have played it all weekend. I really should have studied. The game was so much damned fun, that I couldn't budget my time right. I need to buckle down with studying tonight.

I beat the elite four and the champion in Pearl today, which was a nice way to spend the bank holiday.

Code:

The first 3 members didn't give me much hassle, but the fourth and champion really tested my team and judgement; just for the sheer fact that I still don't have a single pokemon over lv 50 yet. It took some slightly alternative thinking, but I finally won ^_^b.

I have 149 on my pokedex, so one left to get before I can get the national dex; which annoyingly is drifloon.

Code:

I know I can only catch one on fridays, and I skipped all the trainers in the 5th gym. A little annoying but I don't really plan to play much until friday anyway, so It isn't that big a deal.

Caem out VC yesterday. Having never played it before, I had a blast and already beaten it (short). Very addicting.

Robot Alchemic Drive (RAD)

Found it as I was checking some of my PS2 games. The plot and voice acting is cheesy, but its still a fun game. It feels fufilling remote controlling a giant robot, giving the other a good upper while buildings get destroyed in the process.

So, yeah. NG1's a cheap piece of shit. The game's awesome and fun, but really challenging, but Act VI is utterly absurd. 6-2 and to a slightly lesser degree 6-3 are brutal as hell, and if I die at the last three bosses, I redo all of that. What the /fuck/?

So, yeah. I'm going to go play something less nerve wrecking, like Pokemon, or whatever.

Oh man, did you go this long without knowing that the first Ninja Gaiden is the cheapest piece of shit in the history of ever? :P Some sadist was behind the placement of some of those fucking eagles and snipers wearing camo.

Thankfully, Ninja Gaiden II was a hell of a lot more balanced than its predecessor. That game remains one of my favorite platformers.

I knew NG1 was hard, and I've long known about people cursing out the birds. But I never actually EXPERINCED it this far, the furthest I got in any NG game previously was III... Which might sound confounding given my NG1 complaints, but this was the Trilogy version, which actually had damned passwords. Read they tore that out of the NES version's US release as well as the infinite continues. What the fuck Tecmo? No wonder the damn series died after that until Itagaki dragged it out of the grave. :P

But, yeah. I read that NGII was better balanced. I'll get that on the VC and disregard III.

Love that game. Voice acting is atrocious - to the point that it's almost legendary now. Controls are unique and it's an overall fun game. Nice choice.
